    [​IMG] OK, here's how. Drizzt Do'Urden, formally of the House Do'Urden. Viconia DeVir, formally of the House DeVir (says so in the biography, right?). Anybody who read Salvatore's Dark Elf Trilogy? In it, at the start, when Drrizt is not even born, House Do'Urden attacks and destroys House DeVir to move up a place in the city's hierarchy (ahh, the strange drow ways..). There must be no survivors among the nobles of the atacked house, and in that case the city silently applauds the attackers. There was a survivor, of no consequence to House DoUrden, a wizard named Alton. ...maybe there was another one, VICONIA?....

    It was Viccie girl who brought the wrath of Lolth down on the House DeVir. It was Drizzt's birth that gave Alice (yes, its purposefully written without the M) the strenght for some sort of really strong magic that allowed Zak go and slaughter the priestesses. But... If Viccy's brother killed the Matron, was the Matron whose tongue Zak ripped out Viccy's sis?

    No, the brother, Alton, lived in Sorcere for 20 years, until he got recognised by House Hunett, who took him under their protection to accuse the DoUrdens. I don't remember him killing a Matron Mother. Zaknafein killed all the high priestesses in the DeVir house. I don't remember Viconia being mentioned, but it does make sense, her bringing the wrath of Lloth and all...

    No, the OTHER brother, the one who died saving Viccy. Can't remember the name, though.

    Don't remember another brother. It seems a bit out of place, though, a drow sacrifying himself to save another. Right? Maybe there's something about that in her biography in BG1? I do know for sure that she's an outcast from Menzoberranzan.

    I think it's said in the Viccy romance dialogue somewhere... It could have been alton, and the writers completelt inconsistent once again... Damn, i can't download the Romancing guide, that'd tell the truth...

    1. have console enabled.
    2. type CLUAConsole:CreateCreature("artemis")
    3. he'll hide in shadows and backstab, so pause the game FAST!
    4. Set the cursor over him and press Ctrl-Q.

    He's got nearly permanent invisibility, Leather Armor +3, Short Sword +2 and Dagger _4, Life stealer, which has a 15% change of level drain. He has massive amounts of proficensies, as well as Hit Points, and he starts on level 12. He is a pure thief, with good stats

    I think his stats are:

    Str 13
    Dex 18 (duh!)
    Con 15
    Int 16
    Wis 15
    Cha 13

    He's a really great addittion to any party! He doesn't have portraits, so you just have to get custom ones. And, if you want to cheat even more, use SK to crank his Mag. Res. to 100...

    He's in TDD? I NEED that thing....

    Yeah, he's in TDD, so is Jarlaxle, and another villain, but I don't want to spoil it for you. But I didn't finish TDD, I got very nervous cos of 123434 bugs in the game, and uninstalled it. thanks for info on getting artemis in, and I have the custom made portrait of him (I did it myself, not really a problem since I study engineering, so I got to be handy with pencils -sorry, don't know english that good to explain with what we draw) - Still, it's a pretty cool portrait!

    The Darkest Day is an unofficial addon for SoA. Made by some very drifty persons that are associated with www.teambg.com .
    Currently it doesnt work with TOB but they are telling us that it will soon. I havent played TDD yet I wait for the compatability patch.
